New Dawn is a non-profit, private, volunteer-directed social enterprise dedicated to community building. It seeks to identify community needs and to establish and operate ventures that speak to those needs.
Some of the services provided by New Dawn generate revenues, and these revenues are reinvested in New Dawn. These revenues allow New Dawn to develop new projects and take on new community issues in pursuit of a more vibrant and self-reliant Cape Breton Island.
New Dawn employs over 175 people from the Cape Breton community, and serves 600 Cape Bretoners each day through our companies and projects.
New Dawn Enterprises' mission — to engage the community to create a culture of self-reliance — is as relevant today as it was when the organization was founded back in 1976.
